What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Dodge Dart

WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE KEY FOB GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS SOMETIMES CAN BE RESOLVED BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND ADJUSTING THE SHIFTER FORWARD TO CLICK INTO PARK. IT'S AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK SO IT WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FOB. IT COULD USUALLY BY FIXED EASILY, NOW TAKES SOMETIMES 1-3 MINUTES; WHICH INCLUDES RESTARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY & THEN WILL STOP FOR A FEW DAYS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THEY 'COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM' AS THEY STATED. HOWEVER, JUST THE PAST TWO DAYS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE FROM THE 2019 RECALL FOR THE BUSHING CABLES. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE AS THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS IF THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IS THERE A NEW RECALL OR OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? ESPECIALLY FROM OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS WHO ALSO HAD A PART REPAIRED IN 2019 DUE TO THE LAST RECALL? *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE GOTTEN INTO MY VEHICLE, STARTED IT AND DROVE OFF. NOW, IF I DO NOT LET IT WARM UP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND GET IN AND START IT AND TAKE OFF, IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY ON A BLIND HILL, ALMOST GETTING ME HIT IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. YESTERDAY, 2/12/2020, THIS AGAIN HAPPENED AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME TWO TIMES, ONCE WHILE TURNING AROUND LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VERY BUSY INTERSECTIONS, IT IS JUST RANDOM.I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I DID LOOK IT UP AND SEE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 2/12/2020 WHILE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE WHEN IT STALLED AND PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR INTERSECTION.

6 SPEED MANUAL CLUTCH GAVE KICK BACK BEHAVIOR WHERE THE SHIFTER JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE TURNING ONTO A BUSY RD AT GREEN LIGHT, AFTER CHANGING GEARS GETTING INTO HIGHWAY THE NEXT, 3RD WAS AS I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE ROAD AFTER TURNING ONTO IT A MINUTE PRIOR. ALREADY UP TO SPEED. THEN WITHIN A FEW DAYS (4) THE CLUTCH WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH NO USABILITY. NOW IT IS STUCK. LARGE REPAIR COSTS. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED UP TO 4,000$ FOR ALL REPAIRS BECAUSE THESE CARS HAVE A REPEATED HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING WITH NO AFTERMARKET PARTS THAT WOULD BE MORE SOLID TO REPLACE IT WITH. OEE PARTS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE! I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE LATE AUGUST 2019 AND MID DECEMBER THIS OCCURRED QUICKLY AND IS AN ABSOLUTE LOSS AT THE MOMENT.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT EVEN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN MY 2014 DODGE DART SXT STALLED. WHEN IT STALLED THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START THE NEXT TRY. THEN 7 DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN A FEW TIMES BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I NEEDED A JUMP. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A FEW TESTS ON THE CAR INCLUDING CHECKING THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD WHICH I FIGURED SINCE I JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY A YEAR AGO. I DROVE IT HOME. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME (MIND YOU THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THESE OCCURRENCES). AGAIN, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND THE CAR STALLED, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A JUMP SINCE I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. AFTER RESEARCHING A BIT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. A FEW PEOPLE SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL OR ADDING MORE DID THE TRICK SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS FINE PLUS I CHANGED THE OIL 3 MONTHS AGO SO IT ISN'T THAT. MOST CASES MENTIONED THAT THIS STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK, WHICH IS ABOUT WHERE MINE IS. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR ' IT'S A DEATH TRAP! WHEN THE CAR STALLS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AS WELL SO IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE COULD REALLY HURT SOMEONE AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR FIND A SOLUTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JENKINTOWN, PA TO GET LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED OF A FEW RECALLS BUT NONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY ISSUES. THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CLEAR SOLUTION.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET A RECALL DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. I THINK DODGE JUST SENT THE NOTICE AND LIED ABOUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER, SURESKY, WANTED TO CHARGE TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE CAR, BUT SINCE THE RECALL WAS NEVER FIXED, I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL SORTS OF SCENARIOS, JUST STARTED, TURNING, STOPPING, UP HILL OR DOWN HILL. MULTIPLE INQUIRIES WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIPS RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THE CAR IS ENGINEERED TO ALLOW 1QT OF OIL BURNED EVERY 750 MILES, PER SPEC SHEET I HAD TO FIRMLY DEMAND TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT. WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM THAT MY CAR DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY FAMILY IN IT, THEREBY THE POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR CATASTROPHIC DEADLY SITUATION IS THERE. CHYRSLER CORPORATE CASES WERE CLOSED WITH NO RESOLUTION AND THEY NEARLY MADE ME PAY FOR THE INQUIRY. THIS IS ALL APPARENTLY HIDDEN IN THE CHRYSLER TSB - 09-001-12. MY CAR HAD 25,000 MILES AND WAS NEEDING ABOUT 7-8 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S BUILT IN OIL LIFE METER WHICH IS INTENDED TO BE USED.

STARTING AT AROUND 50,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OVER HEATING. I BOUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP IN AUGUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED SOME CLAMP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AGAIN. I NOTICED THE COOLANT WAS VERY LOW SO I FILLED IT AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK. THEN IN OCTOBER THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT CAME ON, AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEN ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A CYLINDER 2 MISS FIRE. I GET THAT REPAIRED AND THEN THE VERY SAME DAY THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT COMES ON. REFILL THE COOLANT AGAIN. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LEAK AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND ANY INTERNAL PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF INTERNAL LEAKING YET THE CAR JUST KEEPS OVER HEATING AND NOW ITS JUST A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN AT DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF MOVEMENT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STATIONARY. THE SECOND TIME I WAS GOING SLOW. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY GRAND MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 DODGE DART AND HER ELECTRONIC DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE DASH CLUSTER IN HER CAR IS THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL NECESSARY GAUGES AND DISPLAYS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THINK THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALL ON THE NEW DODGE'S THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE DASH CLUSTERS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE DASH CLUSTERS WERE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING THAT MANY OF THEM. MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING IN TOWN LESS THAN 35 MPH ZONE. SHE SAID THAT THE DISPLAY WAS THERE THEN GONE. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WORKING OR NOT WORKING ON HER CAR SHE MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR.

MY ETC LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF I TAKE OFF TOO QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED WITH TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO STARTED TO TURN OFF WHENEVER I HIT THE BRAKES TOO ABRUPTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY THEM 125 DOLLARS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SUED!
